In the years after his failed campaign against John McCain, Richard Kimball (who looked nothing like David Janssen) would often wax about how shallow campaigns had become. His complaint always got back to the one ad that he ran where he was on a ranch somewhere feeding a carrot to a horse. “What did feeding [...]
When this whole open senate seat bidness got underway, I thought that Wil Cardon would, at best, make it so Jeff Flake would have to blow some money in the primary. You know, run the sort of “look at me, I’m a statesman” ads that would show him to be the grown up and even [...]
Full credit to our senator, John McCain, for refuting the racist attacks on Huma Abedin: By the way, other condemnations of Michelle Bachmann’s remarks came from John Boehner and Ed Rollins. Although it must be noted that it was only a year ago that Rollins thought that Bachmann, who has been saying this stuff for [...]
John McCain, of all people, this morning on Meet the Press: I think we ought to respect the right of women to make choices in their lives, and make that clear, and get back on to what the American people really care about: jobs and the economy.
I was a bit burned out from writing this weekend for all sorts of reasons, so I didn’t write anything about Rush Limbaugh’s comments and subsequent apology. So, I thought I missed my chance to write anything on the subject. Then I read yesterday that he said that what he said was really the fault [...]

This is something that made it’s way on Friday from the Yellow Sheet, to Blog for Arizona to the Weekly’s Range blog: Still stewing over the Pearce recall, [Sen. Frank] Antenori told our reporter yesterday he’s meeting with Republican activists on Friday to plan revenge. The full item is at the pay-only Yellow Sheet, but [...]
John McCain assessing Barack Obama’s chances in Arizona in an appearance this weekend on CNN’s State of the Union: I think it can be up for grabs. I think that’s true of New Mexico, Colorado, Texas even, although maybe not this time. But the demographics are clear. The demographics are clear that the Hispanic vote [...]
Many of you, of course, remember Sean “C. F.” Murphy, whose remarkable run in Arizona’s Republican primary in 2008 left him only 265,899 votes behind winner John McCain. Murphy, who bears an uncanny but I’m sure co-incidental resemblance to the similarly named former bass player for the River Roses and Caitlin and the Stickponies, did [...]

John McCain was critical of Barack Obama’s handling of Libya. It’s as if to say, if only we were following what McCain wanted to do, just imagine where the Libyan people would be now. Just imagine. This from Raw Story: Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) promised to help former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi obtain U.S. military [...]

Remember when John McCain toured the Wallow Fire and then blamed illegal immigrants for the damage? Well, about that: Two Southern Arizona cousins have been charged in connection with the half-million acre Wallow Fire in May. Caleb and David Malboeu are accused of leaving a campfire unattended while hiking, causing the wildfire that burned for [...]
